The thoracic spine, also known as the upper or middle back, provides stability, anchors the rib cage, and safeguards vital organs in the chest. Upper back pain often results from poor posture, muscle overuse, or injury.
Located between the base of the neck and the bottom of the ribcage, the upper back consists of 12 bones collectively known as the thoracic spine. The first bone starts at the base of the neck, and the 12th bone ends just below the ribcage. Upper back pain can occur anywhere along these bones.
People who experience pain in this area often describe it as a burning or pulling sensation in a specific spot, which may indicate the location of injury or strain. The non-invasive B-Cure Laser is a powerful yet user-friendly device designed to deliver safe treatment and reduce upper back pain at home.
Common causes of upper back pain
- Muscle reconditioning and poor posture
- Muscle overuse
- Traumatic injury – joint dysfunction
- Herniated disc
- Pinched nerve
- Osteoarthritis
- Myofascial pain
- Spinal infection
- Lung cancer
Symptoms of upper back pain
Symptoms of upper back pain vary between individuals. Some may experience mild pain that dissipates after a few days, while others may endure worsening pain that affects their daily routines. This pain can be sharp, resembling a knife prick or a burning sensation, often targeting a specific spot without spreading. If left untreated, the pain, whether sharp or dull, may lead to stiffness, limiting mobility in the upper back muscles or joints.
Pain Projection: Upper back pain resulting from nerve injury or inflammation can radiate to the arm, chest, or stomach. Typically felt on one side of the body, this projected pain may be accompanied by tingling, weakness, or numbness in the affected area.
When back pain intensifies, it can hinder the sufferer’s ability to perform routine activities such as lifting moderate to heavy objects, throwing a ball, or even sitting comfortably.
How to self-treat back pain
If back pain develops without injury or trauma, most people can treat the pain on their own in the following ways:
Rest and modify movement – if the pain intensifies during specific actions or movements, it’s advisable to avoid these painful motions and take a break. Once rested and the pain subsides, cautiously resume the activity. Note: excessive rest may weaken muscles, potentially causing additional pain.
Over-the-counter (non-prescription) creams and medications – a wide array exists for pain relief. Verify potential side effects and note that most non-prescription medications address pain but not the underlying issue.
Massage – many find that massage offers relief from back pain. Even if the effects are temporary, a good massage can alleviate tight muscles and enhance blood flow to the affected area.
Medical treatment of back pain
If the back pain continues following rest, most people turn to medical professionals and treatments to alleviate the pain and find the root cause.
The treatments offered include:
- Physical therapy
- Prescription drugs
- Injections
- Electro-therapy
- Surgery
- Home treatment with B-Cure Laser
Use B-Cure Laser for the treatment of back pain
The B-Cure Laser offers groundbreaking laser therapy, harnessing the power of professional clinic-grade lasers in a lightweight, portable device designed for convenient home use.
This treatment is safe, effective, and may provide lasting pain relief.
The advanced laser technology behind the B-Cure Laser fuels its restorative power. By placing the device in contact with the skin, photon energy penetrates the tissues, stimulating the body to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP carries energy within the cells and interacts with various biomolecules to promote normal cell function and enhance the body’s natural healing processes.

Treatment protocol for upper back pain
To treat upper back pain, address all painful vertebrae along the spine. Also, target the right and left scapula, treating each point for 8 minutes. Experience indicates potential pain relief within days.
An adjustable stand facilitates ease of use, stabilising the device for treatment without movement and enabling deep laser beam penetration into tissues.
For optimal results, repeat the treatment at least twice a day.
